The Voice of America Season 4 Episode 14

The Voice of America Season 4 Episode 14 Still, Levine has arguably the strongest team heading into The Voice season 4 live shows, led by early favorite Judith Hill. Hill sailed through her knockout round over Orlando Dixon. The aforementioned Simmons is a solid contender as well, and Amber Carrington, who beat out popular duo Midas Whale, could steal some of the country vote away from Shelton's team.

However, both Usher and Shakira have potential winners on their squads as well. The former boasts quirky rocker Michelle Chamuel, while the latter stole R & B diva Sasha Allen from Levine's team during the battle rounds.

Still, neither of these two rank among the top three contestants on The Voice Season 4 in terms of Twitter followers. Per the website Headline Planet, Vedo from Usher's team and Justin Rivers of Shelton's team are clearly at the head of the pack in this category. Rivers' placement is somewhat surprising considering his controversial victory over Savannah Berry in the knockout rounds. Vedo, meanwhile, follows over 10,000 people on Twitter, which may contribute to his high follower numbers.

The media outrage may be lessened this week, now that the voting will be in the viewers' hands. Half of the squads will perform on Monday, while the other two will sing on Tuesday. America's vote will then be revealed on Wednesday, when one competitor will be dropped from each team. According to SmallScreenScoop, the top two contestants on each team will be saved, while each coach will choose to eliminate one of the finalists in the bottom two.

Per the NBC website, you can vote via phone, text or online. You can also cast your vote by purchasing a contestant's performance on iTunes.
